[SWT]Make Animations.

Question

Hello everyone.

My question is quite simple but I can't find any clear answer anywhere... I have to make some animated design with lots of pretty effects and color gradients in a SWT compliant way ...

I assume what I try to mean is not clear as water so I'll try to explain more... I have an RCP application in which I need to have a special page whose content is fed by a class that sends it either beans or strings (or postcards or whatever, it can have to get almost anything) and has to make a nice presentation of all that it gets by building artistical representation of it and animating the whole.

The artistic transformation here is not the problem (I'll handle it and let all freedom to my artistic sick mind) but the problem is to find any framework or plugin that is able to build pretty animations and all the stuff in a SWT shell...

Hope someone here is a born SWT artist ...

Thank in advance...

You can use Timing Framework or Trident. Both of them based on the notion of changing bean property values, which would work for SWT or Swing.

You'd have to read about them to see which one you like more. For simple effects Trident looks easier, but it should be your personal choice.
